About this map

Errol serves as the focal point of this northern New Hampshire landscape, situated at the confluence of several vital watercourses during the mid-1990s. The village is positioned where the Androscoggin River flows south, bolstered by the waters of Clear Stream and drainage from Akers Pond. This era of the Coos County backcountry is defined by large land grants and township divisions including Dixville, Dixs Grant, Second College Grant, and Wentworths Location, reflecting a traditional New England pattern of forest management and land use.

The terrain is punctuated by significant heights of land such as Rice Mountain, Black Mountain, and Signal Mountain. Water dominates the geography, with the Swift Diamond River cutting through the northern reaches near Ellingwood Falls, while the southern corridor follows the river through the Thirteenmile Woods Scenic Area. This map provides a clear record of the access roads and timber-country brooks, like Larrys Brook and Smoky Camp Brook, that have long supported the local wood-products economy.
